Pissed Off Shrimp

I tied a smaller shrimp on a Partridge CS 54 # 8, using the Pro 3D Shrimp Shell in XXSmall clear on pink base. The shrimp is weighted with a small tungsten shrimp weight. The legs are made out of CDC, the antennas are Whiting Rooster Spey Hackles. It’s not a really a complicated pattern and I’ll tie some more in different colors for my seatrout fishing in the Baltic Sea.

…warm up for the ADH-Fishing Spring Fair

…waiting for the trouts…

I tied a lot of bigger patterns in the last couple of weeks like streamers, pike flies, tube flies, flies for seatrout, etc. ….

This is the first smaller pattern I tied since a long time. Just can’t wait to fish with a light rod for trout and grayling again, but I still have to wait some month… enough time to fill my fly boxes with fresh nymphs, dries and emerger.

For this one I used the following materials:

  • striped peacock quill coated with Bug Bond
  • natural cdc wing post
  • yellow and brown cdc hackle
  • alpaka dubbing for the thorax
  • tied on a 1167 Daiichi # 14

Articulated Pike Streamer

Well, it’s raining, wind is blowing really strong and the snow melts. Right weather to tie a fly, watching fish porn and dreaming about the fishing season to come.

I used the 35mm Articulated Shanks and the new Living Eyes „Ice“ from Flymen Fishing Company for it for this pattern, together with arctic fox, zonker stripe and Senyo’s Laser Dub.

Wiggle-Fox for Pike

Inspired by my buddy Alex Jobski, I tied this Wiggle-Fox tuned with a Zonker Stripe. Looks pretty cool! Thanks Alex! ;-)

Mean Green Pike Piercer

A cold sunday afternoon. After a very stressful week, I was sitting at my tying desk, not directly knowing what to tie. I just let my ideas flow. The result is a big pike tube fly, the „Mean Green Pike Piercer“. It’s tied on a Pro Sportfisher Flexi Tube and for the head I used a Pro Softhead.
